[06:02] <JadedJ> Hi
[06:02] <JadedJ> I installed Gedit on lubuntu
[06:02] <JadedJ> but now when I open gedit, it doesn't save recently opened files
[07:30] <CrazyTux> hello, I am not able to get "Find Files" feature work in Lubuntu 18.10.
[12:39] <CrazyTux> hello, does lxqt on lubuntu has all the functionalities of lubuntu lxde?
 @CrazyTux [<CrazyTux> hello, does lxqt on lubuntu has all the functionalities of lubuntu lx …], Probably not. LXDE doesn't have all the functionalities of LXQt, either.
[12:46] <CrazyTux> lubot, how can I search for a file on a partition?
[12:46] <CrazyTux> I want to find a file on a partition.
[12:49] <CrazyTux> btw, is lxqt a point and click desktop?
[12:50] <CrazyTux> which DE is recommended if one wants to get work done with least dependence on the terminal?
[12:51] <CrazyTux> I tried using Tool - Find Files options in lxqt's file manager. It seems it doesn't work perfectly.
 All desktops on Linux are 'point and click' desktops. LXQt's file manager has a search function, but I don't know whether you can search *only* a partition. Alternatively, you could try catfish (might need to install it first). ... Not having to use the terminal is one of the design goals of LXQt, but tbh I don't know how far they came
[12:53] <CrazyTux> lubot, ok. So I need to install catfish.
 If you don't want to use the terminal at all, Lubuntu 18.10 isn't that great I think, because there's no GUI for the driver manager and network manager included. Xubuntu (with the Xfce DE) might be better, since it's more mature.
[12:54] <CrazyTux> lubot, btw, is lxqt on Lubuntu 18.10 well tested and reasonably bugfree or is it still under testing?
 btw, 'lubot' is the name of the bot who bridges between irc, telegram and matrix. my nick is 'marneu' ^^
[12:55] <CrazyTux> ok
 Compared to other Ubuntu flavors, Lubuntu 18.10 is on the buggy side I think.
[12:57] <CrazyTux> marneu, ok
[12:57] <CrazyTux> then, which is more stable?
 Xubuntu is extremely stable.
[12:59] <CrazyTux> marneu, ok. Xubuntu LTS?
 LTS (i.e. Xubuntu 18.04) has fewer bugs than other releases, but I don't think it even matters for Xubuntu.
[13:00] <CrazyTux> ok
[13:00] <CrazyTux> Xubuntu vis-a-vis Mint Xfce?
 dunno, probably the same. The good thing about Xubuntu is that you can upgrade to Ubuntu's 6-monthly releases (e.g. 18.10), but on the other hand you might not want that anyway if you're concerned about bugs.
[13:04] <CrazyTux> ok. I want a stable and bugfree OS.
[13:39] <apt-ghetto> stable and bugfree normally means old
[13:40] <apt-ghetto> for stable and bugfree aka old os, take a Debian
 They don't want to use the terminal, though, so Debian is not such a great choice.
[13:41] <apt-ghetto> the terminal is very stable
[13:42] <apt-ghetto> for beginners i recommend to use a *buntu
[13:42] <apt-ghetto> i do not recommend linux mint, because not all security updates are delivered with the default settings
[16:21] <CarbineMorpho> is lubuntu 18.10 running wayland or xorg?
[16:21] <CarbineMorpho> I have looked online and its not clear
 Check it with echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE
 Lubuntu 18.10 ships with Openbox, which doesn't have a wayland session.
[16:40] <CarbineMorpho> ah
[16:40] <CarbineMorpho> cheers
 I've been using LXQt for some time now, on Artix Linux (vanilla LXQt) and Lubuntu. LXQt is stable. It does not break for daily usage. I use a lot the file manager, the terminal and many goodies.
 If your are heavy used to LXDE you will need some time to get used to, but I would say it is a good time to have it for your desktop. If you have to choose for anyone, you or someone else who wants to get the work done, choose Lubuntu.
